.htaccess to stop rewriting for subdirectory

Hi all

This might be obvious to many, if not all, but one thing I run into is the TXP .htaccess aggressively 404ing any access to real subdirectories in the root. For example, today I have been handed a site to build that has an old script in the cgi-bin directory. I can’t submit form output to the script without TXP leaping to the rescue with a 404 page, god love it.

Re: .htaccess to stop rewriting for subdirectory

I am also having htaccess problems after upgrading to Mountain Lion (OSx 10.8). After it broke my local install, I managed to fix Apache and PHP and get access to my databases again via phpMyAdmin. However, I can only access my local install of Textpattern by removing my .htaccess file. With my .htaccess present it serves up a 403 ‘no permission on this server’ error. My local textpattern install is in ‘localhost/~myusername/txp/’ but other directories in my ‘localhost/~myusername/’ directory work fine (they have no .htaccess files!). I tried to add wet’s suggestion above but it didn’t work. Even trying to install Textpattern from scratch gives the same error. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you fix it? Many thanks!
